"We Can Grow Beautiful"

"Our desires to grow beautiful can manifest when we have an elegant countenance because that comes from within. Strangely, inner beauty becomes outer beauty and this beauty is everlasting. It goes beyond powerful make up.

We've all had those moments when an elegant lady walks into the room. She has a sort of queenly honour that commands respect around her, yet is very gracious. You don't know "who she is yet" but in your mind, you'll think she's probably someone very important. You almost gawk and admire her from a distance.

Then, there are some who are very pretty but gives off a sour vibe. Pretty is not the same as beautiful. Your hunch is right when she opens her mouth and especially so when you witness her in action. Suddenly, she is not pretty anymore.

That is probably why some faces (pretty or not) look elegant and others, not so. Other 'plain' faces can look elegant, smarter,classier, wealthier than the pretty ones. Why? Is it the language that they speak? the make up? the clothes? the education? Surely all play a part, but it is their countenance that tells us about them.

Ines de la Fressange says, "You can go out and hate everybody, hate your age, and hate all the things you don't have but it will show; you have the face you deserve."

I've also said before that whatever's in your heart turns up on your face. Apart from our regular beauty treatments, care and attention to our skin/face, we have to look after our heart.

In Proverbs 4:23 in the Bible, it says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

How interesting!!! So I decided to show you some woman who I think are really beautiful.They are all over 40,some over 50,some over 60,and beyond!!!They must have been living lives thatmade their countenances beautiful.They are all so beautiful.

So the Little Prince said:

“If you
were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick,
with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be
able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them,
"I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim, "Oh,
what a pretty house that is!”
